What is anterior pelvic tilt?
An anterior pelvic tilt is a short-arc anterior rotation of the pelvis over the hips when the upper body is upright and stationary. Viewed from the side, a person with a tilted pelvis will appear to have a deeper curve of the lumbar spine (the lower portion of the spine) and an exaggerated protrusion of the butt. Although poor posture can cause you to appear as though you have an anterior tilt of the pelvis, it’s important to have a proper medical examination to determine the severity of the tilt and check for muscle imbalances that can cause difficulty with mobility.
